These women apparently didn't realize they were fat until it was written on a receipt. Fucked up but made me chuckle.

The fat girls are back (back back)
and you know they can never be whack

12/10/2012 3:46:47 PM

lol if 90% of the population knew how bartenders identified them (even the good looking ones) thered be a lot of lawsuits

heck, how do you think bar employee remember patrons, they notice flaws and anomalies first

12/10/2012 4:25:34 PM

that's how I remember people...you should check my phone's address book lol

12/10/2012 4:26:30 PM

I'm pretty sure they know they're fat, but it was more having it shoved in their face by what would otherwise be thought of as a professional service (at least, to their faces) is what "damage was done". They're pissed at being insulted, especially because it's true.

Yeah. No one wants to be known by an unflattering descriptor.

12/10/2012 5:36:54 PM

But after awhile...it's no laughing matter

12/10/2012 5:50:10 PM

Bartenders and waiters don't like to hear "Hey guy with the dead end job, where's my drink" so it should hardly be surprising when people don't like to hear insulting things even when they are true.

12/10/2012 5:53:06 PM

i saw this on the front page of cnn this morning. how is this even news??

some restaurant computer systems prompt you to name a check before you can ring anything in, just gotta make sure you take it off before the customer sees it. whoops

12/10/2012 5:55:30 PM

if I don't know your name, or I like our nickname for you better than your actual name (usually in the case of very common names), you're getting some sort of descriptor that helps me and the other bartender(s) identify you quickly. your fatness (or fatness relative to your group) is likely how you're being labeled at every bar you go to that doesn't use conventional restaurant seating. That bar manager is, of course, full of shit because if he bartends he does it too. What he's pissed off at is the idiot not changing the name of the ticket before giving it to the table

I've definitely forgotten to change the check name before, fortunately it hasn't bitten me in the ass. And sometimes I "forget" on purpose to grease the wheels on getting that phone number and/or big tip. Like "cute brunette" or "nice smile"

All that said I still feel bad for these girls, definitely had to put a damper on their night. But going to the news over it is pretty lolworthy

12/10/2012 5:58:28 PM

I'm surprised the bill for all three of them was only $25.50

12/10/2012 6:08:40 PM

God forbid someone point out that these women are dangerously obese....

whatever are you talking about paerabol

12/10/2012 6:22:00 PM

I can't tell you how often I see a group of big girls like that, and it's always in threes, come in for drinks and a round of appetizers. Almost every time I ask "is that all you want", i.e. "would you like to eat dinner", they say "naw, we ate right before we got here lol ^_^"

The fate of your check name is sealed.

[Edited on December 10, 2012 at 6:24 PM. Reason : ^ dude you have like 9 names anyway, I'd just choose at random]

12/10/2012 6:22:43 PM

I always labeled by what seat at the bar they were...so it was always something like "B 2/3 guys" or "B 8/9 ladies".

I had a couple cougars get mad at me one night because I put them under "Mid Ladies" because they were sitting at the middle of the bar. They were like..."EXCUSE ME...WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SUPPOSE TO BE MEAN?!" They were not buying my explanation...so I ultimately told them that if I was being descriptive, "Middle Aged" would have been extremely generous.

12/10/2012 6:29:08 PM

^haha...yeah, I've had to explain things like that before. Can get pretty hairy if they are hellbent on being offended.

I've never worked at a bar where people/seats were stationary enough to go by bar seat, even the tables at Bada are unpredictable past about 9pm or so. Pretty much everyone gets a name/nickname unless it's very apparent they won't relocate

Never having working in the restaurant industry, I guess it never occurred to me that custom names were put in for people until now. I feel like I've only seen table numbers or something.

12/10/2012 6:39:35 PM

Vast majority of restaurants will just use a table number. Bar-bars though (where people move around) use names and/or descriptions. If you see a "seat number" on your bill it's probably because it was something else until right before they printed it for you

12/10/2012 6:42:06 PM

ever dismissed a fat girl who was a babe 2 years later?

12/10/2012 7:08:28 PM

nope doesnt happen

12/10/2012 7:08:52 PM

oh yes it does. sometimes so badly the wiener can hardly take it.

12/10/2012 7:11:42 PM

The way I see that (for guys and girls): had you dated them when they were fat, the thinspiration might never have hit them. So your rejection did him/her a favor.

In more ways than one, it would seem.

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

12/10/2012 7:23:57 PM

Dave did you usually put me as "egyeyes" or "awesome" because I can't see it being anything else other than those two descriptors

12/10/2012 7:24:50 PM

nah it was "DAMN SHE HAS A MAN "

12/10/2012 7:26:04 PM

speaking objectively here.....

they are, in fact, fat girls

12/10/2012 7:30:32 PM

Patricia (egyeyes)

12/10/2012 7:37:44 PM

haha, I love that she's all broken up about being called fat when she should be broken up over a shitty quality of life and early death

12/10/2012 7:42:40 PM

^



No big deal, spades were called spades. The manager should have immediately written off their tab in its entirety, though (and not cared, because it was worth $25).

12/10/2012 7:52:16 PM

I'd actually probably be more likely to go to that bar after that story. You'd be guaranteed a less than normal distribution of fat chicks

12/10/2012 8:01:05 PM

It's funny that the thinnest of the three was the one crying. Also I want to know what I'm being called at bars now. The only time I ever got one with a descriptor just said "2 girls" when me and my friend went.

12/10/2012 8:13:20 PM

The "thinnest" (that's such a strong word) is the only one still clinging to a sliver of hope of never having to bathe with a rag on a stick. The rest have just given up.

[Edited on December 10, 2012 at 8:15 PM. Reason : ]

12/10/2012 8:15:03 PM

I have stopped using strong personal identifiers in the computer for fear I will one day forget to change it before I hand them their tab.

I've since switched over to what drinks they order... which can be just as amusing with shot and cocktail names.

12/10/2012 8:23:33 PM

^^^ I'm curious now too lol

As paerabol said, it was usually some simple description that would set you apart from the rest of the crowd, eg, "green hat", "blue shirt", "glasses", etc. Every now and then you would put something in like "fat girls" or "douchebags", but you could change the tab name before they tabbed out.

I did bartend with this ridiculously hot girl for a couple years who was often a complete cunt bag and would name tabs "fuck faces", "pencil dicks", etc...and normally the guys were appropriately named because they were hitting on her. But they would see they're tab name, start bitching...she would tell them to go fuck themselves...and then they would leave some ridiculous 300% tip.

Never failed.

I think everyone is gonna pay closer attention to their receipts from now on

12/10/2012 10:29:35 PM

haha, yea, i never fucking hit on bar bitches

most of them fucking suck at tending bar in the first place

NO TIP

no, they prob say Olivia Munn or hawt chick...something along those lines.

12/11/2012 12:00:28 AM

that's no fun at all!

seriously though, my brother worked at O Charley's in college and he told me they would call blacks, the canadians, it was a code they would use to pay off the hostess. A few people were paying $20 or more to not have them sit where they were working that night due to poor tipping.
